....I know it's all just a state of mind.

I was listening to a really great song today. In fact I'm listening to it again right now, and it's wonderful. The song is Misty Mountain Hop - Led Zeppelin in case you were wondering.

I suppose I could even fill you up.... with some conjecture on what the song is about... Like to hear it? Here it goes.... Some people say this song is about sitting in a park getting high and running into the cops. Well hell, check out these lyrics:

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us, said,
"Please,hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line."
Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun; Oh, oh,oh.
he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
and baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin',
ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're comin'; oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind.

So, I'm listening to this song, and things are slowly sinking in. Like the fact that all of life really is about your state of mind. Your position, your success, your perception, how you are perceived.... all of it.

It's all a state of miiiind... wooo hoooo... wooooooo hooooooo... wooo hoooo.... wooooooo hooooooo...

Oh I really don't know.... whoa... whoa... Oh I really don't knoooowwwww

I came home today and turned on the television and on came a Jeep commercial. You may have seen it, it shows the jeep from a very early model through the current model, each scene shows a different jeep and has something different going on. One of the scenes is Elvis dancing, another is an army brigade sitting at roll call on a base.

Anyhow, there is part of a song playing in the background, but they chop it down to just about the first and last verse. On the commercial it goes like this:

Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing

Sunshine come on back another day
I promise you I'll be singing

Well for some reason it caught my ear, I think I just liked the singer's voice and the lyrics spoke to me a bit.

So I looked the whole thing up:
